How to access videos stored on SD through HTC Album ???

There is a registery tweak so that photos taken from camera are stored in storage card\my documents\my pictures (instead of DCIM forlder) and then they are accessible in HTC album when you click Photos in the cube.
However, though video recordings are stored on SD card as well in My Documents\ My Videos but they are not visible through HTC Album. Only My Videos folder on My Device is accessible.
Anyone knows how to fix this problem ????
Thanks.

Anyone ???? any idea ???? no reply !!!!!

Same problem here. Still looking for a fix.

I think that htc album shows only the MP4 file. Try !

My videos are in mp4...

Possible solution
I have had the same problem. And i've tried a few things, but strangely it doesn't work perfectly for the player part. (but it DOES work)
First i opened the registry and browsed to the following key:
HKLM\Software\HTC\Biotouch\MediaHubMini\App1_3
Since that dir seems to be linked to the videoplayer on the device, you should open the dir and view the value of Path, you'll see its linked to \Windows\HTCAlbum.exe. Now...
HKLM\Software\HTC\Biotouch\MediaHubMini\App1_2 is stated to be used for viewing Photos (which exactly and ONLY seems to do that), and contains the same Path value which ALSO points to \Windows\HTCAlbum.exe.
Does that mean HTCAlbum can view both types? (i don't think so) And what happens if I change the value of Path in the HKLM\Software\HTC\Biotouch\MediaHubMini\App1_3 dir to let's say: \Windows\wmplayer.exe?
Let's try
After a softreset the Video button in the cube starts Windows Mediaplayer. It also gives me an error message stating the file cannot be played, it might be corrupt or not supported. (weird because i'm not opening ANY file)
Anyway, after manually browsing to my storagecard, i can select the right folder and play my recorded videos. Now let's see if we can fix the storage path of the camera, shall we?
I open HKLM\Software\HTC\Biotouch\MediaHubMini\App1_3\param. The value I enter is \Storage card\DCIM\100MEDIA\ Which i think is also the default path, but i could be wrong. In any case, after i do a small test by recording a video, it's saved in the \Storage card\DCIM\100MEDIA\ directory and it plays in Windows Media Player.
Now I just need to get rid of that annoying Error message when starting up WMplayer. You could also use coreplayer if you have it, i'm not so fortunate Hope it was of any use.

Hello
same problem, I don't see the video :-(
No solution??

Any solutions as of yet??

I tried this and it didn't work...the key I have at HKLM\Software\HTC\Biotouch\MediaHubMini\App1_3\param is actually -mode:camera -type:video right now, not a path to my videos...

Access video from memory card HTC Album
Found these cabs somewhere. The video fix allows access to memory card videos and the audio fix allows the sound to work. The only way I found to adjust the volume for videos is to adjust it in Windows Media Player and it will adjust the HTC Album Video Player.

[Feature Request] Scroll to recently completed folder after folder complete

I think it's a little bug, but very annoying.
I offten use MX Player for watching music video clips on android car media system. I have a lot of folders with lots of videos.
After turning on media system and starting MX Player I usually pick the button (in menu) that continues playing a last video.
All is ok, video plays - no problem, after that starts next video in this folder - no problem too.
But the problem is - after playing the LAST video in this folder MX Player stops and displays list of folders! Not list of files in folder started in, but list of folders! I think it's very annoying to seek the folder in list every time.

Would you check Settings > Player > Back to list ?
If this option is checked on, MX Player will return to video list instead of playing next video.

Oh, no! In that case MX Player will stop after each video!

I think what Albert is saying is that right now, when all the videos in a folder is completed, MX returns to the root folder list. What I read as Albert's request is that when a folder is finished, return to that folder's view instead of the root folder list.

Ok I misunderstood AlbertAS's request. @AlbertAS Please try latest test build. In this build, folder list will auto-scroll to the position of last folder.
Therefore you will no longer need to scroll down to find next folder. https://sites.google.com/site/mxvpen/translation/test-build

[Feature Request] SMB Share / Network Folders

Hello,
I have a few questions, I hope some one can answer them.
I would like to know if it is possible to set a video folder that is on a network or a web site. I have all my DVDs copied onto my server and would like to access them from my devices.
When I try to add a folder, via settings, it will not show me a network. If I go to Network stream I have to type in the complete url to the file its self for it to play.
Example: 13.125.44.133:4040/movies/61/video_ts/vts_01_1.vob
I would like to be able to see the directory with the list of folders that the movies are in and then select the folder and have the app play the movie.
Example:
Movies/
61
2012
After Earth
....

Maybe the only way to access to this folders its using a file explorer with the capabilities of accessing to network folders.

I was able to locate the file, like you suggested. I am using ES File Explore, it allowed me to save the path and also associate the vob files with MX Player. So now I have one more question. When I ripped my DVD's, they are just like on the DVD. There is 4 or 5 vob files numbered 1, 2, 3... When I select the first vob file and it plays to the end it goes back to the ES File Explore app and does not continue on to the second vob file. Is there a switch so that it will do this or will it just not do this?

MX Player currently has no built-in SMB share support. External apps like ES File Explorer only pass 1 file URI at a time to MX.
This has been previously requested before. https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/mx-videoplayer/nYpihpAVJq0/discussion
It's already on the feature requests list. http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/mx-player/sticky-running-list-feature-requests-t2718297

i see that there is a "back to list" i uncheck this and it went to the next file, seam to work.

Interesting, I didn't think that they would have changed so quickly to passing all the URIs in the folder. Well, good to see that you found a solution.

Related: http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/mx-player/bug-report-video-button-lan-mounted-t2967882
An amendment to what I said above; MX still doesn't receive all the URIs, but rather does predictive requests based on filename, as a quickfix to this issue.

I use ES file explorer to do this, you can 'save' the location as a shortcut to the desktop of your device (long press on the folder, select save to desktop)
There are currently a few bugs with this in the latest version which i have my own thread about, subtitles dont load and some videos require software playback to prevent audio going out of sync but it works and works well in general.

Anyone using this feature could tell me how it works when there are 2 files - video and subtitles?

If the directory listing is enabled on the host, MX Player can get the list of files. So, it will automatically load the subtitle as we. Else, MX Player will try to get the subtitle by assumption (by just replacing video extension with subtitle extensions). But, it doesn't work everywhere.
So, it's better to enable directory listing if you are using a local server.

[Q] MX Not Detecting Files

HI!
I usually download all my torrents on mobile including my TV shows.Recently,I downloaded arrested development season 1,mkv file and was watching it using mx Pla:yer prowhen all of a sudden my mx player stopped detecting those videos.So now I have to use my file explorer then navigate to downloads and then finally select a file and click it.This ****'s irritating ,so could you guys give me your advice,since you people know more?

@rashadthegre check
Settings > List > Folders
And see if your download folder is in the list of folders to be searched by MX.

Hi,
MX Player can detect most files with default setting.
But there are still some devices not detecting all files unless adding folders manually.
It would be help for improving default setting if you send system log after refreshing video list.
Please make sure that log should be gather immediately after refreshing video list because it will be erased periodically.
Thanks

I am having the same issue. I have added the folders that my videos are in, on mutiple levels, adding every folder from the desired video folder up to root and still it has none of my desired videos and I must resort to using VLC. Here is my bug report, maybe I could get some help?

Some of your video folders contains a file named ".nomedia". It actually represents that there is no media content inside the folder. So, if you keep any videos inside that directory or any subdirectory, it will be ignored.
For example your download folder in internal memory & media folder on external memory has ".nomedia" files. That's why it's not getting listed.
Either you have to delete those files or alternatively you can force MX Player to scan the directories even if ".nomedia" file found (Goto Settings >> List & Disable "Recognise .nomedia". Then, Refresh the video list.

Cannot play video from ES file explorer smb share.

Hi,
I have a NAS that share video file with smb, I used to open these files in ES file explorer and it will give me the option to open it in MX player. Recently I got my Nexus 6P with Android 6.0.1, and there is no such option anymore. The video will always default to use es file explorer video play. Anyway I can fix this?
Update:
I noticed in the app details page on the phone there is a "Open by default" option and inside there is "supported links" which has the value "*" . Maybe this is the cause? I used to developed an app that forwards intent to mx player and if I use "*" it will not work. I had to provide mime type so mx play show in the open list. Another thing I noticed is the problem is not only for MX player but for all other video streaming supported players. So it must be something changed in Marshmallow.
Thanks.

Is this a empty answer?

@ktsamy seems your post got posted blank.
Regarding the OP, hmm, I wonder if instead the problem is on ES's side. I don't know much about this area, though.

Same here, I can't get to make mx player appear in the list of players capable of playing a video from a smb share or a local dlna renderer

Issue still exists.

The issue is from the android itself.
There are 2 major issues.
1. Android 6 has a issue which will lead to disappearance of Apps. If you set app as default & Then clearing the defaults, many apps including MX, BS, VLC have disappeared from open with list. There is no way to bring them back other than uninstalling/disabling the app which you have set as default earlier in order to bring the missing apps back to list. The issue was reproducible even in Stock Nexus devices. But, it was fixed in 6.0.1
2. Pathpattern no longer works with many third party apps in newer android versions when host is set to *. This is one of the major issue. But, When you remove the host entry as you suggested, some apps will list MX Player incorrectly for unknown contents for a unknown reason. One more thing is that Google Chrome & Stock brower doesn't list the app for video files when it's removed. So, it can't be removed straight away.
BTW, after lot of test & trails I have found the solution for the issue. I have forwarded the same to the MX Player developer as well. It's now fixed on MX Player code base. Next update will bring the fix to both issues.

Thanks for your effort. My workround is to make MX player default for all required file types by opening files from local storage. Than MX Player will be default for smb files too.
